 Crassul&cece. This is a pretty genus of succu- 

 lent plants, requiring but little water when 

 not in a free-growing state. They appear to 

 do best in a mixture of loam and sand. They 

 are very easily increased by cuttings, which 

 should be taken off, and laid to dry for a short 

 time before planting ; they will then root in a 

 few days. Synonymes : 1, Verea acutifldra ; 2,
